Karver 4 Speed KWS46 Extra Speed Winch

Karver 4 Speed KWS46 Extra Speed WinchThe KSW46 is an innovative and very (very) efficient 4 speed automatic winch : 2 speeds identical to other winches on the market PLUS 2 additional extremely fast speeds. The speed change takes place as on a traditional winch by changing the direction of rotation. The winch automatically returns to 1st gear when you release the tension.

The KSW46 is an innovative and very (very) efficient 4-speed automatic winch : 2 speeds identical to other winches on the market PLUS 2 additional extremely fast speeds. The speed change takes place as on a traditional winch by changing the direction of rotation. The winch automatically returns to 1st gear when you release the tension. The KSW is more of a winch dedicated to sailors.

When maneuvering, the difference is just incredible : the line is “swallowed” 6 times faster than a winch of a similar size. Many sailors have already adopted it and are gaining ground with each maneuver : sending of sails, gybes, tacking, … These manual winches are so quick that you no longer have to pick up slack in the line on the fly. The maneuvers are safe and fast, the sails wear less, the boat loses less speed, … 6 times faster = 6 times less crank turn to give. The KSW is simply the fastest winch on the market !

– 2 winches in 1 : 2 standard speeds and 2 additional very high speed speeds
– 6 times faster than other winches on the market (equivalent headstock size) : 1 turn of the crank = 65 cm against 15 cm (30 cm on a 3-speed winch)
– The fastest winch on the market. No Equal for Equal Size
– A formidable weapon for any racer looking to maneuver faster.
– Listening is never resumed by hand. A saving of precious time in turns and gybes for solo skippers or small crews.
– A benchmark on many Class 40 and sailboats racing with small crews (Transquadra for example)
– 4 automatic speeds. Speed change at each change of rotation.
– Available in 3 sizes : 40, 46 & 52
– Applications : Tacks, jibes, sending of sails
– Advantage of a faster winch :
– Speed, fluidity and safety of the maneuver (the ropes remain on the self-tailing without having to take up the “slack”
– The sails wear less for a long time and are damaged less (stability of form and longevity)
– All the winches are equipped with self tailing – Made of aluminum, hard anodized and black.
– The materials chosen limit corrosion and component wear.
– Easy to maintain.
– 5 years warranty
